JohnH Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 I had a foreign national bring his info to me today (actually through a relative) and before I give his info back to him I'd like to ask if anyone on this forum can offer some advice. He moved to the US from the UK on 6/10/07 and began working in the US on 11/8/07. So he lived in the US for 205 days in 2007 and has never lived in the US in the past. US earnings were only about $1,800, all legal, according to him. He got his green card in Feb 2008. I don't prepare returns for foreign nationals and don't intend to start learning, even if it's a simple task. I'd just like to know if there is any reason he can't file a 4868 and get an extension in the same manner as any other taxpayer. All I want to do is give him a way to get past April 15 and out of my hair so he can have someone do his work who knows and/or cares about this stuff. Anyone have any advice on whether there are any special rules that would prevent him from filing the extension? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pacun Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 He is not required to file. No need to file extension... unless you want to bring his UK income which for sure is excluded from US tax based on tax treaty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
